I do have to say, teams that attend the Rochester Rally every year (hosted by Team 1511) have a great benefit: FLR's chief inspector, the wonderful (and extremely tall) Rob Heslin gives every robot a quick once-over to make sure that the most egregious faults are identified prior to Bag and Tag. Our bumpers were good, but our pneumatics needed modification...
